“Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.” Psalms 73:25 KJV
Have you gotten to that point?
I remember looking at every option the world offered and trying every alternative, only to find nothing satisfied; nothing proved true. I was burdened with a hopelessness no drug could cure. At the end of my rope; a friend showed me the way through forgiveness and repentance. I humbled myself and confessed and repented of the sin that had weighed me down. By emptying myself, I made room for Him.
Why had I searched everywhere else? It was my unbelief. I had listened to the lies of the enemy, portraying God as unable to do what He promised. I had seen no evidence, in the churches I had visited, of a power I had read about. All I saw were more lost people - just like me. I lived in fear and worry. I sought to control every facet of my life because everything was out of control. I doubted, yet searched for something I could put my faith in; something that would prove to be true. I longed for "real", yet all I found were empty promises.
Then I met The Creator of the universe. He revealed Himself to me. When I recognized my sin I was made painfully aware, I needed a Savior! As I confessed and repented of my sins of unforgiveness and judgments; of doubt and unbelief, and made Him LORD, His promises of freedom manifested. Light shown in the darkness and all heaviness left! I am no longer that person who had no place to go. He is my refuge; He is my Redeemer; He is my God and I have His peace.
I say all of this to tell you, there is hope in Jesus Christ. The key is obedience to His Word. If you have reached the end of your rope, I can give you a hand up! PM me and I'll mail you the same CDs (free of charge) that helped put me on the road to freedom.
“My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.” Psalms 73:26-28 KJV
Repent while there is still time.
Even so - MARANATHA!
